W3Perl 1.40

Now, W3Perl can run an incremental version. Of course, it will give you speed increase over the last version (only a few minutes long instead of many hours). Cron-inc.pl will load previous files produced by cron-pages.pl and will scan only the last day.

Running the incremental version

First, you will need to run once cron-pages.pl. It will output data files cron-inc.pl should be able to read when running.
If you have huge log files, it will take you long time to run cron-pages.pl but you will need to run it only one time !

Second is to edit your crontab and write cron-inc.pl instead of cron-pages.pl

Feel free to send me bug report. You can also show me my english mistakes !
